There was talk about muslims being offended by piggy banks.

Oh, and I don't care what Islam thinks. The fundamentalists in that religion have proven themselves beyond a reasonable doubt to be certifiably insane, so their opinions on anything don't matter any more than the ramblings of any other village idiot...
WTF is this guy thinking. Stop wasting time on this and genetically modify pigs to produce more and leaner bacon.
The world has too many people already. Saving them is like hitting mother earth in the junk with a hammer.
Bacon, I tell ya.....

When pig organs become a normal thing we'll just have less muslims in the world. People will live longer and muslims who won't accept these transplants will choose to die and go to heaven to play with their promised virgins. Simple 
If it came from a pig and they're mixing in human DNA they won't give a fuck if it's just for meat and they don't eat it, they'll see it as an abomination because people are mixing the DNA with a human beings, that's what will cause them to go apeshit over it, I can see it a mile off.
I think you are correct but I'd like to hear comments from people that know the culture and the verses of the old book.
It's not "eating" it's "becoming", sort of.

I hear the pork is unclean for islam , because it comes from a pig, which is an unsanitary animal. islam allows the eating of clean animals such as cows and chicken etc.
This part is true from what I've been told

Let me put it this way, Islamists are going to make PETA look like minor pranksters if they ever get wind of that research and find out who is doing this.
Seriously.
I have no clue what they would think about this.
It's not related to eating pigs.
they will feel closer to home then

Is this a very bad thing according to Islam?
Just curious.

Editing Pig Genomes To Grow Transplant Organs For Humans
CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology was used to disable 62 porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs), which it is feared could cause diseases in humans if pig organs were transplanted into humans.
Geneticist George Church has co-founded a company that is developing genetically modified pigs to grow organs for human transplant.
They did additional editing to reduce the threat of human immune response to pig antigens. Pretty cool stuff.
What ought to be done as well: additional editing to make the pig organs age more slowly. That way the transplanted organs will last longer. Domestic farm pigs only live 6 to 10 years. Those pigs grow to 500+ pounds. The miniature pigs live 15 to 20 years and grow to 32-75 lb. Still rather short-lived. Moderate sized pigs between those two sizes also have life expectancies between those two sizes.
How to make pigs live longer? We need to discover a large number of genetic variants that enable humans to live longer, find corresponding locations in pig genomes, and edit those locations.
We need to gradually reword the pig genome to be much more like the human genome: much longer lasting parts, no immune incompatibilities, no embedded virus dangers. Also, take a lesson from elephants and add more copies of the p53 gene to slash cancer risk.
Just curious.
